Quebec group seeking investors promises to ‘work tirelessly’ to bring NBA to Montreal

WATCH: Prominent members of the Quebec business community launched their campaign to bring the NBA to Montreal ahead of the NBA Canada series preseason game.
As Brayden Jagger Haines reports, although far from a slam dunk, fans are excited to hear the news.

“Although the NBA and its commissioner have made it clear to us they currently have no plans to expand the league, we have taken the decision to prepare for when expansion does take place because we believe it will take place,” Fortier said.

The estimated cost of an NBA franchise would cost between US$1.5 billion and $2 billion, according to Fortier.
